Now it was our turn to check out the boat. Her name was Sea Party, perfect for us. Checking out the boat, we realized how cramped we were going to be, but for the trip of a lifetime we could deal with it. When we were told that no toilet paper could be flushed down the toilet, we were taken aback ...

Delos is an incredibly interesting place. The entire island is a collection of ruins where no one is allowed to stay on the island overnight so everyone who visits are day trippers—most of whom are staying in Mykonos. It was an excellent day for exploring ruins at just over 60F degrees it was cool and pleasant. There is a lot to explore on the island so be sure to leave enough time to see it all.

There are no complete building standing, but ...

... beautiful place with the village full of white-washed buildings scattered around a maze of little streets and alley ways. Just at it seemed that Santorini was made for couples, Mykonos was make for singles and the party life. This is one place that I want to return to again.

... and 35 and 40." It very well could be the vacation and the cruise-effect but I really do feel like I'm a little more zen about all things life and stress-related.

Plus I've decided 2012 is legit. Maybe not 2012 exactly, but for sure the idea that we are here and then we're gone. You can't not realize and appreciate that fact walking around all of these antiquities. You don't get to plan for the end, or for the demise of a 'people'. If you could, all these ...

Tonight we are on our own for dinner. We go back into town in small groups. My own group of four opts to come back to the hotel after dinner in order to pack and be ready to leave tomorrow morning on our transfer to Naxos. Let’s hope the rains continue to hold off!

... archeological museum, and spent some time navigating the streets. Lunch was definitely worth the time and effort. That evening we went to a restaurant that our very helpful guesthouse host recommended. It wasn't one of the places along the water where you can dine with waves lapping up at your feet, but it was still cute and we didn't have to pay extra for the sea view. We had a fabulous meal of local wine, Greek salad, and lamb. Meg's ...

We walked a little longer and then said she had to have that ring. Well, he dropped the price and with a 140 euro loan from me, which is 210 Canadian ...
